Question 1 of 12
Three — two pump blood to the gills and one to the rest of the body.
Question 2 of 12
A dolphin is a mammal. It breathes air, is born alive and drinks its mother's milk.
Question 3 of 12
Parrotfish scrape algae off coral, digest it, and pass out the rock as fine white sand.
Question 4 of 12
Warm water makes coral expel the algae that feed it. That is bleaching, and the coral is starving.
Question 5 of 12
Pweza. Pomboo is dolphin and papa is shark.
Question 6 of 12
The Kaskazi. The Kusi blows from the south-east, roughly April to October.
Question 7 of 12
A true flowering plant with roots and seeds, which returned to the sea about a hundred million years ago.
Question 8 of 12
The father. The female places her eggs in his pouch and he carries them until they hatch.
Question 9 of 12
Sand temperature. Warmer sand produces more females.
Question 10 of 12
None. A shark's whole skeleton is cartilage — the bendy material in your ear.
Question 11 of 12
So the tree can take in air when the tide covers the mud.
Question 12 of 12
Sardines. They breed fast and in huge numbers, while a big grouper took many years to grow.
